Trump Rages on Twitter About Being Alone in the ‘Chaotic’ White House, ‘There Is No Chaos!’
Donald Trump has sent ELEVEN tweets today and it isn’t even noon in our nation’s capital.
Trump is now raging about being alone in the White House, the shutdown, and one of his favorite topics, the FAKE NEWS media.
Trump tweeted, “I just watched a Fake reporter from the Amazon Washington Post say the White House is “chaotic, there does not seem to be a strategy for this Shutdown. There is no plan.” The Fakes always like talking Chaos, there is NONE. In fact, there’s almost nobody in the W.H. but me, and I do have a plan on the Shutdown. But to understand that plan you would have to understand the fact that I won the election, and I promised safety and security for the American people. Part of that promise was a Wall at the Southern Border. Elections have consequences!”

It appears the “Fake reporter” Trump was referring to is The Washington Post’s Philip Rucker, who appeared on Weekend Today on NBC this morning.

Trump then tweeted again to make it a dozen tweets before noon — this time calling for Democrats to return from their vacations. Of course, this is a lie. Democrats are not on vacation. Some returned to their home states, but that’s not a vacation.
“We have a massive Humanitarian Crisis at our Southern Border. We will be out for a long time unless the Democrats come back from their “vacations” and get back to work. I am in the White House ready to sign!”

The partial shutdown of the federal government officially became the longest of the modern budgeting era on Saturday, as it entered day 22 with no end in sight.
By making it into the fourth week, the shutdown surpassed the 21-day funding lapse in 1995 and 1996 as the longest since the modern budgeting system was implemented in 1974. Where the new bar will end up remains to be seen as Trump and Democrats appear to be nowhere close to resolving the standoff over money for the president’s long-promised wall along the US-Mexico border, despite constant discussions and posturing.
The shutdown has forced 800,000 federal workers and millions of federal contract employees to go without pay for three weeks, and disrupted government services across the country.
Twitter had some thoughts:
Yeah, this is the kind of tweet that totally convinces people there's no chaos at the White House.
This is the part where the smarter people at the New Year's Eve party start heading for the exits and commandeering jeeps to the airport. https://t.co/5w6aLg2PSt

"There's almost nobody in the WH but me." Yup. Totally unchaotic. https://t.co/daWa1rdAuB

“There’s almost nobody in the WH but me, because I’ve fired most of them, no-one else wants to work for me and the rest are going to jail.”
There, FIFY. https://t.co/b3Fp09vK0a
